PPM to ICO
File Converter

PPM stands for Portable Pixmap, and it is a simple image format that is part of the Netpbm package. The PPM format stores color images in a plain text or binary format, representing pixel values with three numbers for red, green, and blue color channels. PPM files are easy to read and understand, but they can be large in size as they do not employ any form of compression, resulting in each pixel being represented by full color intensity values.

ICO is a file format used to store icons on Microsoft Windows. It supports images of various sizes and color depths, and it can contain multiple images within a single file, allowing icons to be displayed in different resolutions and color depths depending on the user’s settings. While ICO files are essential for creating application and file icons in Windows, they are less commonly used for other purposes due to their specific functionality and limited support on non-Windows platforms.
